Russia has been using a variety of tactics to cut off Ukraine's grain exports, including:
1. Blockading Ukrainian ports. Russia has been blockading Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, preventing ships from carrying grain out of the country. This has caused a global shortage of grain and has raised the risk of food shortages in some countries.
2. Destroying grain infrastructure. Russia has been destroying grain silos, elevators, and other infrastructure in Ukraine. This has made it difficult for farmers to store and transport grain and has further hampered exports.
3. Stealing grain. Russia has been accused of stealing grain from Ukrainian farms. This grain is then being sold on the black market, or being taken to Russia.
These tactics have had a devastating impact on Ukraine's grain exports. In 2021, Ukraine exported 44.7 million tonnes of grain. However, in 2022, exports are expected to be less than half of that amount. This will have a significant impact on the global food supply and could lead to food shortages in some countries.
In addition to the economic impact, Russia's blockade of Ukrainian ports is also having a humanitarian impact. Millions of people in Ukraine rely on grain for food, and the blockade is making it difficult for them to get the food they need.
The United Nations has called on Russia to end its blockade of Ukrainian ports and to allow grain exports to resume. However, Russia has so far refused to do so.
The impact of Russia's blockade of Ukrainian ports is likely to be felt for months, or even years to come. It is a clear example of how Russia is using food as a weapon of war.

WORLD EVENTS ON 30 JUNE

"Everyday is a new day" as said by my Asistant General Manager while I was working in the Banking Sector. I still remember those hardship days and his advice is still correct when I have satrted writing on blogg on the free paltform of the Blogger.


1. 30th of June is celebrated as the International Asteriod Day:



The day officially launched in 2014 with the support of more than 200 astronauts. It took two more years before it was officially recognized by the United Nations in 2016. International Asteroid Day was founded by Stephen Hawking and a collection of other people, including an Apollo 9 astronaut, a filmmaker, and Brian May – who was the guitarist for Queen and also an astrophysicist. June 30 was chosen for the day as it is the anniversary of the 1908 incident in Siberia.

  • 65 Million Years Ago: The Chicxulub Event happens. Perhaps the reason that dinosaurs no longer roam the earth, this asteroid was roughly 10-80 km in size and hits earth in what is modern day Mexico.
  • 1908: Tunguska Event in Siberia. An asteroid lands in remote parts of Russia and has an impact of eight hundred square miles.
  • 1989: Galileo spacecraft is launched. The first spacecraft to orbit an outer planet, Galileo is also the first to observe an asteroid from a short distance.
  • 2013:Small asteroid hits in Russia. The first asteroid event on earth in the 21st century, this one is only 20 meters in diameter and it explodes while still approximately 30 km in the air, though it did still cause a fair share of damage.


2. On this day of 30th June we celebrate Social Media Day:



Social Media Day was launched by the popular website Mashable back in 2010, and often sees fans of the site going to real-life meetups

The Social media seems to be everywhere now a  days. Though the days of social media pioneer Myspace are now long gone, we’re constantly hearing about trending topics on Twitter, laughing at social media fails and many people are obsessive about keeping up with their Facebook news feed. Even if Facebook and Twitter aren’t for you, there’s still blogging, Vine, Snapchat, and even LinkedIn, among many others. Even businesses have recognized the value of social media for connecting with customers and selling their product, as well as quickly updating users about problems affecting their service.

Social media has become a major factor in the world. For many of us, it is how we keep up with what our friends are up to, even if they’re on the other side of the planet. It has also played a big part in world events. Twitter was used to organise protests and report on events during the Arab Spring, for example. On a more shallow note, Twitter is a great way to keep up with what your favorite celebrities are up to – as long as they don’t just use it to Instagram pictures of their lunch!

If we’re honest, most of us use social media for less than upright purposes ourselves. We use it to show off our holidays and what adventures we have planned for the weekend. Almost everyone presents an idealised version of themselves on social media, whether by detagging unflattering photos or implying their life is more exciting and glamorous than it really is. Never compare yourself negatively to your friends on social media as you’re only seeing what they want you to see! There are lots of reasons to love Social Media Day. 

There are lots of reasons to love Social Media Day. One of our favorite things about social media is that it is ripe for discovery. It gives everyone the ability to have a voice. They can document their daily activities, share their opinions, and showcase their talents. Up-and-coming entertainers have often found stardom through social media. Just look at Justin Bieber; he was touted via YouTube. Social media opens up a world of possibilities for people, and that is something very exciting! It is also a great place for people to find out news and information. A lot of people will turn to Twitter for the latest updates, rather than heading to news websites, as used to be the case.

Social Media Day has been taking place since the 30th of June in 2010. It was was the brainchild of Mashable as a way of recognizing the impact that social media has had on communications around the world, as well as bringing people together to celebrate. Social media is used by most people on a daily basis. It enables us to communicate with our friends and family in a quick and convenient way. There are a lot of people who also use social media as a business, such as social media influencers. They make money by sharing content with their followers. It is crazy to think about the role that social media plays in society today.

On the strenght of this, Mashable decided that it would be a good idea to create a day to honor social media. For those who are unaware, Mashable is a worldwide entertainment and multi-platform media business. They are known for using social media as part of their operations. They are also known for their awards – the Mashable Awards – which recognize the best online services and communities. The company was established in 2005 by Pete Cashmore and it is headquartered in New York.
